646 pund fresh water catfish._________________I am amazed by how many people harp on the need to speak and write English in this country while exhibiting a fundamental lack of skills in the areas of spelling and sentence composition. Would this be irony, hypocrisy, or both?

The news story indicates they opted for #2. They butchered it and handed it out to the villagers._________________I am amazed by how many people harp on the need to speak and write English in this country while exhibiting a fundamental lack of skills in the areas of spelling and sentence composition.

My guess is that they were carp. Besides, a 10-15lb catfish is not that big of catfish. I think that the blue record is something like 52lbs, the channel 38, and the flathead 70. Of course these are records, but still. I fish the Taylors Falls/St. Croix Falls Annual Catfish Tournament put on each year by the fire departments. Usually, we see many channel cats in the 20-30lb range. My largest caught that won me 4th place with my dad in 1999 was 17.9lbs.

I just want to clarify, that when I made this post, I was refering to MN records. Not those insanely large fish from reservoirs out west and down south...
